O impacto da formação em Redes de Computadores da UFC Quixadá no desenvolvimento profissional dos egressos

Abstract

This final project aims to analyze the impact of the Computer Networks program at the Federal University of Ceará, Quixadá Campus, on the professional and academic trajectories of its graduates. The research was conducted through a questionnaire divided into thematic areas covering everything from demographic data to perceptions of employability, academic background, and socioeconomic impacts. Data analysis, conducted using Google Colab and data mining techniques, revealed that most graduates are currently employed, many working directly in their f ield of study. Furthermore, it was found that the program significantly influenced the decision to continue their studies for several participants, reinforcing its role in promoting continuing education. Despite the positive aspects, areas for improvement were identified, such as the need for curricular updates in emerging technologies (such as cloud computing and information security) and greater emphasis on the development of socioemotional skills. The results obtained contribute to a better alignment between the training offered and the demands of the job market, in addition to serving as information for future actions to improve the course.
